Return To 1977 Chapter 630: Open your eyes
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
There is a popular saying now that poverty limits people's imagination.
This is indeed the case. Although the Xu family is a direct beneficiary of the system, they can also be considered a part of the upper-class structure of the new society.
But they really don’t know what kind of life a wealthy family can live. I have never seen a truly rich person go so far with money.
To be honest, this color TV is just the beginning. The things that the Hong family needs to buy are still behind.
Hong Yanwen had just been transferred back to Beijing when he received the task assigned to him by Hong Yanwu. Take Xu Chongya to make clothes.
Of course we are not going to an ordinary place. Hong Yanwu took advantage of the situation and took them directly to "Zo Cun" to find Su Jin.
As for why he had to go through such a big circle, it was because instead of making one set and two sets, Hong Yanwu planned to make clothes for the two of them all year round.
There is another one. Xu Chongya didn’t know who Su Jin was, so she did the measurement in private at home. Don't misunderstand the Hong family again. Then it becomes just spending money and complaining.
But just because of this incident, the store manager was alerted. They didn't ask for the invoice and payment at all, but negotiated with Hong Yanwu and the others.
The manager said that Su Jin is now a popular "top chef" who often receives customers from various embassies and is already overwhelmed with work.
To make more than a dozen sets of clothes according to the orders placed by Hong Yanwu, it would be impossible for Su Jin to receive new orders three months before May Day. This is definitely not possible. They can only order four sets at most, or they have to give up the designated tailor.
This incident made Hong Yanwu the boss unhappy.
Because other people in the family still have to order clothes, so I’m not allowed to do it. How can I do that?
And this also means discriminating against domestic tourists. It all costs money, so why should he be superior to foreign guests? Not even mentioning first-come, first-served, domestic guests have to make way for foreign guests?
It just doesn't matter if you don't want to. For a unit like "Zo Cun", making money or not is secondary, and political tasks are above all else. What's more, Su Jin is still listening and drinking under others' hands.
No matter what they do, they can't get angry, they can only be patient with others.
Fortunately, Su Jin helped to speak, and Xu Chongya showed his father's "signature" again.
So the manager finally made some accommodations, and finally agreed that Su Jin would make six sets of women's clothing and four sets of men's clothing for them, on the premise that the delivery of some clothing could be postponed depending on the situation.
As a result, the rest of the Hong family would have to worry about Su Jin and his father working on the clothes at home. Both Xiao Su and Lao Su are very busy.
After the clothes are settled, it stands to reason that the next step is to take pictures.
Because taking and developing photos is time-consuming. If it had been shot earlier, there would still be time to retake it if you were not satisfied.
On the other hand, if you don’t have enough time, the result will be whatever you take, and you won’t be dissatisfied.
But don’t forget, you have to dress up to take pictures first. Besides the ordinary group photos in the photo studio, Hong Yanwu also wanted to do something different for his second brother and sister-in-law. It's the holiday soon, who has the heart to help?
The next Sunday, he rented Bian Jiangong's car and took Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya to the Friendship Store to continue shopping.
Don’t forget that Xu Chongya is the district mayor’s daughter, but she has never been here. As soon as she entered the door of Friendship Mall, she almost thought that communism had been realized, and her eyes were not strong enough.
There are so many kinds of goods, it seems like all the good things from all over the world are gathered here.
For the first time, she saw flannel curtains, feather-filled sofa cushions, soft and delicate Xiao Kun bags, and colorful high heels. There are also big apples that look like children's heads, imported chocolate candies, and the legendary Coca-Cola, foreign tobacco and wine.
She and Hong Yanwen were dazzled by the various foreign trademarks in admiration, and unknowingly followed Hong Yanwu to the electrical appliances section.
What surprised them even more was that Hong Yanwu then actually took out several thick stacks of foreign exchange coupons. I told them to pick whatever they wanted. On this trip today, I simply bought all the electrical appliances.
On this day, in addition to tape recorders, refrigerators, washing machines, electric fans, cameras, and watches, they also bought a lot of cosmetics, fashions, scarves, and accessories for post-holiday photography.
At least for Xu Chongya personally, this time it is really distributed according to needs.
But that's not all. What surprised Xu Chongya the most was that she actually got a gold ring set with gems and a gold necklace.
When she was satisfied and ready to leave after shopping, Hong Yanwu Fei took her and Hong Yanwen to the jewelry counter on the third floor and forced her to buy it.
At that time, Hong Yanwu insisted that this was the treatment that the daughter-in-law of the Hong family deserved, and claimed that wearing jewelry would look good when taking photos. No matter how they resisted, it was ineffective, so they had to accept this good intention.
But to be honest, Xu Chongya has long been envious of the jewelry of rich ladies in novels and movies. She had always hoped that one day she would have such a little thing.
And these days, the only place where you can buy gold and silver jewelry in the entire capital is really the Friendship Store.
So with these two things, Xu Chongya, who has a strong petty bourgeois sentiment, unexpectedly fulfilled a dream.
She felt that she could not be happier. To Hong Yanwu, the third brother who spent money for them without blinking an eye, from the bottom of my heart, I was almost closer to him than my own brother.
Of course, the Xu family will not remain indifferent to this matter.
That night, after Xu Chongya returned home happily with some "foreign goods" from the Friendship Store, the Xu family also had a collective eye opening.
The situation at that time was quite interesting.
After dinner, the Xu family sat together and watched TV. As for the cynical Xu Xiaojun, after complaining to his parents about "Garrison Suicide Squad" being canceled by the TV station, he suddenly remembered his sister's marriage.
He started to buy a Japanese original color TV at home, not wanting to be outdone by the Hong family. He also said that he would never call Hong Yanwen brother-in-law from now on, as it was too vulgar.
As a result, his ignorance earned him a lesson from his parents. Afterwards, I asked him about his studies and his chances of getting into college.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Why don't Xu Xiaojun quickly take the opportunity to escape?
Xu Xiaojun, who usually wouldn't hold the oil bottle when it was poured, jumped up and opened the door before the nanny. And then he was surprised.
Because there was a fashionably dressed strange girl standing at the dark door. She was wearing high heels and a beige coat. She was carrying a pearl-white women's bag, black sunglasses, and lipstick on her lips. She was dressed like that. The word "foreign" means overseas Chinese.
"Oh, oh, oh, you went to the wrong place. Who are you looking for?"
Xu Xiaojun’s most immediate reaction was that he knocked on the wrong door.
Unexpectedly, this "overseas Chinese" actually laughed. And he opened the door and walked in as if he was familiar with it.
"Who are you looking for?" I'm looking for you. You haven't noticed yet, but I am your sister..."
Just when Xu Xiaojun opened his mouth and didn't know why. The girl's words finally made him understand.
"I'll go! Xu Chongya? You... are really my sister. Why have you changed like this? You are an amateur Chinese."
Hearing Xu Xiaojun's exaggerated shouting outside, the nanny and Yu Wanfen couldn't help but come out to greet him. Then, they were also frightened and did not dare to recognize him.
Xu Chongya laughed loudly and entered the room, sitting on the sofa and grinning from ear to ear.
It wasn't until she held her stomach and laughed for a long time that she finally said out of breath, "I don't blame you... Just now, when I entered the courtyard, I was confused several times along the way... ”
Just when the family members gathered around Xu Chongya to look at her and asked for details, Xu Bingquan also realized from his astonishment that he was dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior.
"What's going on? Mahakala wore sunglasses, like a secret agent. He also caused misunderstandings among the neighbors. This is the district government compound, and the impact is very bad."
Xu Chongya didn't care, "Look what you said, you have such a beautiful agent like me. So what if there is a misunderstanding? It's because they are blind."
Unexpectedly, Yu Wanfen also sided with Xu Bingquan and scolded her.
"You are getting worse and worse. Are you still beautiful? What kind of dress? You look weird!"
As for Xu Xiaojun, he firmly supported his sister.
"Mom, you and dad are just old hats. Isn't this beautiful? My sister's body is so cool! Just like Zhang Yu in "Romance on Lushan Mountain", she will definitely be shocked when she goes outside. Do you understand? Do you understand? ”
These words reminded Yu Wanfen. "Don't tell me, these glasses look familiar to me. It seems like someone has worn them on TV..."
Xu Xiaojun continued to say in the tone of a film and television expert, "Hey, that's the TV series "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", Mike Harris, this is called Mike Mirror."
Xu Chongya will be rewarded immediately. "Well, Xiaojun still knows the goods. I'll give this to you as a gift."
Xu Xiaojun was beautiful immediately. Unfortunately, Yu Wanfen just took it over happily, and before she could put it on, Yu Wanfen took it away again.
"Wait a minute, what's stuck on your glasses?"
Xu Xiaojun quickly explained, "Mom, that's called a trademark. Look at this foreign word."
"It's true, they are all foreign letters. But if you stick this in front of your eyes, if you don't feel dizzy, I will tear it off for you."
Faced with his mother's kindness, Xu Xiaojun was shocked.
"No! Don't tear it up! These glasses are only as valuable as the trademark. If you want to tear them up, who knows they are from a foreign country..."
"Hi!" Yu Wanfen finally understood what her son meant. She curled her lips disdainfully and returned the sunglasses to her son.
And he is still nagging, "The world is evil. In the past, people who were attracted by foreign countries would avoid them, for fear of being connected to foreign countries. Now it is the other way around. When I see the two foreign words, I want to hold up my hand. The brand is clamoring all over the world..."
Xu Bingquan scolded him even more angrily. "Advocate for foreigners! Is everything foreign? Then you should learn English better!"
Seeing her younger brother being suppressed and chewing his cigarette, Xu Chongya hurriedly went outside and brought two cigarettes in to appease his father.
"Dad, please don't go online. Xiaojun just wants to be fun and fresh, what does that mean? And you have to admit that after all, there are many good foreign goods, and everyone wants them. You see, Yanwen also asked me to give You brought back two sticks of foreign cigarettes. The price of one stick is as much as that of three sticks of Chinese cigarettes. Don’t you want to try it?”
After saying this, Xu Bingquan shook his head helplessly. He took the cigarette and looked at it. But soon, he was happy too.
"Well, this kid Yanwen is quite sensible..."
At this time, Xu Chongya couldn't help it anymore. She sat next to Yu Wanfen, took out two jewelry boxes and started to show off to her mother.
"Mom, this is what the Hong family bought for me today. Look, it's from Hong Kong."
Don't say that Yu Wanfen's eyes lit up immediately. The nanny and Xu Xiaojun also came over.
Yu Wanfen asked as she opened the jewelry box, "Aren't they all gold?"
"Take a look." Xu Chongya was deliberately reserved.
As soon as the result was opened, the golden light flashed, and Yu Wanfen started to like it. "Oh, I haven't seen this thing in years. I saw a gold ring at my grandma's place when I was a child..."
Xu Chongya is more beautiful. "This is pure gold, and it says 18k on it..."
The nanny couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Xiaoya, what is 18k?"
Hey, I really stopped asking now. Xu Chongya thought about it for a long time and couldn't tell her.
On the other hand, Xu Xiaojun was good at inventing and came to rescue his sister.
"18k probably means quite valuable, just like saying that the old king of poker cards is the biggest. 18 old kings, how valuable do you think..."
And following this guy was not satisfied anymore, so he took advantage of his merits and asked for rewards.
"Sister, since you are so capable over there, can you help me get a digital watch? Our classmate has an uncle in Hong Kong, so I brought one to him. It's called Card, it's a famous Japanese brand, and There is a calendar for the week, so you don’t have to wind it up for the rest of your life. If you can get me a **** every day, I will recognize him as my brother-in-law without saying a word, otherwise don’t blame me for ignoring him in the future..."
After saying this, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen couldn't help scolding them together. They scolded them for being ignorant and useless, and scolded them for being ignorant and useless.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chongya went to the living room again and took a picture when she came back. "Xiaojun, this is what you said, don't go back on it!"
Well, this family of three has a nanny, and they are all dumbfounded. There really is such a thing as daring to love!
And that same night. The Xu family, who thought they had taken advantage, didn't know it. After Hong Yanwu returned home, he also gave Wang Yunlin four jewelry boxes.
Inside were two pairs of gold bracelets of different styles, each weighing at least forty grams.
Facing his surprised mother, Hong Yanwu explained.
"Mom, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's wear these bracelets for fun. You have one pair, and my sister-in-law has one pair. As a son, I can't lose you. As the Hong family, we can't lose my sister-in-law, right? ”
Following that, he touched his pocket again and took out another box. "By the way, I also bought Xiaoru a gold pen. I have something to do tomorrow, so please help me give it to her..."
But Wang Yunlin is different from the overjoyed Xu family.
She smiled with approval, said calmly and calmly, "It's hard for you to have this intention, mom thanks you on their behalf," and accepted it.
No more words.
